| When it took effect on June 15, 1988, RA 6657 became the prevailing agrarian reform law. This is not to say, however, that its coming into effect necessarily impeded the operation of PD 27, which, to repeat, covers only rice and corn land. Far from it, for RA 6657, which identifies "rice and corn land" under PD 27 as among the properties the DAR shall acquire and distribute to the landless,[33] no less provides that PD 27 shall be of suppletory application. We stated in Land Bank of the Philippines v. Court of Appeals, "We cannot see why Sec. 18 of R.A. 6657 should not apply to rice and corn lands under P.D. 27. Section 75 of R.A. 6657 clearly states that the provisions of P.D. 27 and E.O. 228 shall only have a suppletory effect."[34] | |||||

| Respondent cited jurisprudence pronouncing that it is not just a "mere rubber stamp" but a "necessary cog"[30] in agrarian reform as it does not just exercise a ministerial function but has an "independent discretionary role"[31] in the valuation process of the land covered by land reform. Respondent further stressed that this Court, in the Decision, has recognized its right to appeal from an adverse decision in a just compensation case. | |||||
